Original job description
BPA is more than an engineering firm - it’s a passionate team shaping the buildings and infrastructure of tomorrow. With offices across Canada, our expertise in sustainable design and technical innovation drives impactful projects from coast to coast. Joining BPA means putting your talent to work on meaningful projects, collaborating with recognized experts, and growing in a flexible, people-focused and forward-thinking environment.
At BPA, we're creating a new position to centralize accounts receivable follow-up across our offices in Canada. You'll become the go-to person for unpaid invoices. You won't just send generic reminders: you'll understand each file, find the real reason behind non-payment, and coordinate the solution with the right people.
If you enjoy taking ownership of a portfolio, digging into the details of a file, and seeing overdue accounts go down thanks to your work, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
Thank you for your interest in joining our team. Please note that only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted by the Talent team.

What You'll Do

- Open new client accounts in the ERP system, as needed.

- DEC in accounting or in business administration.
- Bilingual in French and English, spoken and written. You'll work with both our French- and English-speaking offices.*
- Comfortable with Excel and working with large volumes of data.
- Ability to organize data and build reliable tables.
- Autonomy, organizational skills, curiosity, and strong priority management.
- Comfortable handling sometimes delicate conversations with clients who dispute an invoice.
- Experience in the engineering or construction sector (asset).
- English is essential due to the shared service and to maintain an acceptable ratio among the incumbents of certain positions in order to ensure effective coordination and service offering within the organization.
- A new role with a concrete, visible impact on the organization's financial health.
- Collaboration with project managers from multiple disciplines and teams across Canada.
- An approachable manager who listens and whose door is always open.
- A hybrid work environment in Laval.
- A culture built on collaboration, knowledge sharing, talent development, and the quality of our work.

- Overtime hours that are recognized and compensated, either through time off in lieu or paid compensation.
- A competitive total compensation package, including a market-driven salary, a comprehensive group insurance plan, and an RRSP program with employer contributions.
- A structured training and professional development program supported by UniversiT, our internal entity dedicated to the technical and personal growth of every employee.
- A structured Mentorship Program that connects early-career professionals with experienced mentors to kick-start your BPA career.
- Cutting-edge technology, including BIM and modern collaborative tools.
